Frequently Asked
Questions

What is your minimum order quantity?

Our MOQ is one 20 ft container (approx 7 MT). LCL shipments can be arranged for high-value orders.

Why use carton packing?

Star Anise is fragile. Cartons protect the star shape (flower) from crushing during transit, which is crucial for Grade A quality.

Do you supply Broken Star Anise?

Yes, we supply Broken / Petal grades which are cost-effective and perfect for grinding into powder or extraction.

What is the moisture content?

We ensure moisture is below 13.5% to prevent fungal growth during sea freight.

Is it suitable for pharmaceutical use?

Yes, our Star Anise is rich in shikimic acid, a key ingredient for Tamiflu and other pharmaceutical applications.

What are your payment terms?

For new buyers: LC at sight or 30% advance with balance against documents. Negotiable for long-term partners.
